Overview 
This unit reviews the major concepts presented in this course, and shows how they work together in several real-world situations. We begin by walking through the process of building a small peer-to-peer network, like those used in many small businesses. We then discuss the upgrades and enhancements that are common in the transition from a peer-to-peer network to a client/server network. You will also learn how one local area network (LAN) connects to another, with particular attention to Internet connectivity. We then bring all of these elements together by discussing how data flows within a workgroup, across a LAN backbone, and over a wide area link. You will see how many processes, protocols, and networking devices work together to move information between two computer applications.
